I don't know about the rest of you but I always carry a tube of Liquid nails in the car, I have used it to repair a leak in my auxillary fuel
tank once , cleaned the area around the leak and apply Liqid Nails ,place a piece of tin 2.5" X 2.5" over it, add a weight and let set, sounds like a recipe don't it. Today I found another use for the magic potion , because I don't own a sewing machine and don't have a woman to drive it I needed the 2 new pair trousers hemmed because my legs are too short I had to cut some off, So in place of cotton I used Liquid nails, Now you might laugh but it works fine,now I get can around without a bare ar*e.,moral of the story....carry liquid nails.

Hi Doug ,
Staples work
well on the trousers too .
Did the fuel affect the glue when you were doing the
tank repair ? Conversely , could the glue get into the fuel and then the engine ?
You could probably do your fillings with it too !
Cheers ,
Willie .

Hiya Willie
No it can't or couldn't get into the fuel, the hole was so small like a pin hole and the diesel was just seeping out ever so slow, after about 6 months when I had another reason to take the
tank out I had it repaired properly , Oh and the
tank I'm talking about is the big one under the bed,
I'm not sure how using it on petrol would go, I don't use it but was wondering if one could fix a radiator leak with it enough to get to to help,under those circumstances I would leave the cap loose so it doen't build up pressure.
If anyone is going to jump at the opertunity to fire a shot about the fuel
tank inside the vehicle read section 4.1.5 on page 3 at this site, Ive been through all this before.

'Tis magic stuff.
We use it to glue bits of cut up jeans over the eye of cattle for pink eye patches. Holds on for a few weeks, then eventually succumbs to the animal rubbing on a tree. Holds
well till then though!

Sikaflex 11FC is magic stuff too, except it is about $18 a tube compared to liquid nails which is $4 a tube.
It is a polyurethane, sealant and adhesive. After bonded, it can only be removed with a mechanical aid.
Just another hint, i dont work for sikaflex or sell it, i just use it heaps!
Cheers

That's a hoot Doug. I thought I was the master of Liquid Nails multiple uses. I use it for everything. But I never thought to use it for hemming up the trousers!!!. But then I've got a wife with a sewing machine. She has her uses.

the only usefull thing i can add is that there is a few different brands of liquid nails and that its
well worth avoiding the 2 dollar bostik brand(absolute garbage)...nothing against bostik, i'm quite happy to use their polyurethane sealant/adhesive and i'm sure they make some other usefull gear

Tis sad methinks that some one of many talents and expertise in many fields cannot use the most basic and one of the earliest
tools known to mankind , the poor old needle and thread.
